IMPROVED san-IRON HOLDER.

`TheSr'illeiule referred to iu these Letters Patent and making part ofthe sax-n Beit knownt-hat we, E; EL Gus'rav 'VON Donn- REN and FREDERICKl. L. ItnIMERsf Davenport,

in the county of Scott `and in` the State of Iowa, have invented a newand useful Improvement in `Sad-iron i Holders; and do hereby `declarethe following description, taken in connection witlrthe accompanyingdrawing, hereinafter. referred to,rforrns a-fnll and exact y specicationof the sanie,'\`vherein we have` set yforth -the nature` and-,principles`of our said improvement,

hywhich onrinvention `may/be distinguished from p othersof a similarclass, together with such parts as we claim and desire ltosccureby'Letters Patent.

` Our invention relates to that class. of household `ntensilswhich ismadc use* of for the purpose of Iprotecting.the-hand from the contact ofheated sur faces, and the nature thereof/consists in certain mod.-v

ifications in the'details.and improvementsin the construction ofthesan1e,`.herei,nafter described and shown. Y `In the accompanyingdrawing, which illustrates onr invention" and forms a part Yof thespecification, inV which corresponding -parts 'are represented by`similar lettersf--` h Figure 1 isla vievn perspective, representing theimplementos it appears when opened.. j

The construction, operation, and relative arrangement of the componentparts of' our invention are `as follows, to wit:

A and A' designatethe` semieylindrical parts 'of which theholderiscomposedftheouter surfaces of which are of-'silchaformasHtc-fiti the shape of thel hand, and theinner` surfaces so groovedout Vas to `adaptthemselves to the" heated surface .which it is intendedto encircle.

'specially and broadly; but

. The said pieces are connected and hinged together by means of thelinks b b, secured` thereto by screws and staples, as shown, in such amanner as to allow them to be opened' or shut at pleasure. The saidlinks, on onefend of the h'older, are sprung outward, in such ainanncras to prevent the pieces from being entireiy opened, unless force isused, and to hohl them,-whcn so required, in a partially closedposition.

rlhe partsv are held open by thespiral spring d, attached, by means ofan elongated staple, to the part A,`one end of which extends within yaperforation cnt for its reception in the part A.

The operation of the invention is apparent from the foregoingdescription of its construction.

lWe are aware that sad-iron holders have been herctofore constructed oftwo cylindrical pieces, operated by a spring; we, therefore, do 'notclaim such` devices \Vhat we claim, and desire tosecure by LettersPatent, -is- The arrangement of the linksb b', s elni-cylmirioal parts AA', and spring d, when constructed to operate together, in such a mannerthat the part-s A A may be held either partially or wholly open, and thespring cl may he entirely concealed within the said parts, y asdescribed.

1 n testimonyl that we claim the hregoing, we have hereunto set ourhands this 21stV day of March, 1870.
